WW1 Canadian CEF C Bar 47 Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF C Bar 47 Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original military artifact issued to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This brass shoulder title features the distinctive “C” flanked by a horizontal bar and the number “47,” identifying it as the insignia of the 47th Battalion, also known as the British Columbia Battalion. The insignia was typically worn on the upper shoulder of the service dress uniform, signifying unit affiliation for administrative and operational purposes. Measuring approximately 5 cm in width, this type of title was commonly affixed using lugs and split pins on the reverse. Items such as this played a crucial role in the identification and organization of soldiers within the Canadian military structure during the conflict.
